Earl Spencer, the younger brother of former Princess of Wales Diana Spencer, was 11 when he began being sexually assaulted by a female employee at the Maidwell Hall private school in England, which he attended in the 1970s He reveals it himself in his new memoirs, an extract of which was reported by the English media. Now aged 59, he decided to shed light on what he did immediately, by writing in his own hand. In the book, he describes his tormentor as a “ravenous pedophile” who manipulated and abused him and other boys in their dormitory beds at night. But not only. In his writings, Earl also denounces the violent behavior of the school's then principal, John Porch, who died in 2022 at the age of 95.
“The director beat us and got excited”
According to the account of Diana Spencer's brother, the man inflicted “brutal beatings” on students and “provided sexual pleasure through violence”. The 59-year-old man recounts several episodes of violence suffered within the school grounds. “The blows were delivered quickly and decisively, with all the strength of his muscular arm, before he pushed you away in disgust,” he wrote in one passage. To then emphasize how sexually aroused Porch became in these moments. “Little hell” is how Earl describes the years spent at this private school known to be elite, where he spent from 8 to 13 years old. The school in question responded to what was reported in the book, calling Spencer's story “shocking” and explaining that the sexual abuse allegations had been reported to a specific official at the school.
